Birch tree embers

A dusting of snow and the flickering embers of last light caused me

to take this photo. I hope you think it was worth freezing various

appendages of my anatomy for.

Great shot, just a tad too blue, imo....

Hi there.

 

It's clear to me why your name comes up under 'Top Photographers.' No matter where it is along the continuum that a viewer(s) eye may want to linger, where a photo or series of them is,

your series beckoned my interest to do just that.....to linger/admire & learn.

 

I think one of your greatest strengths is possessing an 'eye' that 'sees' and through the lens captures!

 

In this instance, as this photo shows however, in short, less is more. The color touching is too much. Throughout much of your portfolio your photos pull again and again toward too much

tweaking; so pervasive, to me, they over run an otherwise captivating portfolio.

 

Left untouched or touched ever so lightly, particularly the images of natures wonderland you've captured would have been much more

beneficial to view from my window anyway.

 

I'm entirely open minded to getting the 'red eye' out as much as I am for enhancing it....

 

....tweaking the red along, say, a New England autumns open roadway can make all the difference between a good original to a greatly improved

final image.

 

I enjoyed the visit in your PN space. As an amature photographer, speaking for myself, I learned something beneficial in several respects along the continuum; the 'do's' outweighing the 'dont's' (your additonal details from equipment to lighting conditions and so forth I found very helpful.)

7/7

I feel for M USA who apparently doesn't get out enough (at least not in the winter) to recognize the true colors of a winter afternoon. Excellent capture, worth the frozen fingers. 7/7
